I thought my garden was going to produce a TON of zucchini, but that has yet to happen. I’m a little bit disappointed, but I did plant yellow summer squash this year and that is multiplying greatly.

Unfortunately I don’t’ know what I was thinking when I planted it. I have no idea what to do with it, so it sits on my cupboard. If you have an recommendations please feel free to share them with me! Can I use it in place of zucchini in recipes?

I have had a few zucchinis so far this year and have made a few fabulous recipes, but this is the first official “new” recipe to come to the blog. I did make a few old ones and rephotograph. Wow, just going to say they needed it BAD. I have a lot of learning to do with photography yet, but man it makes me realize how far I’ve come too!

Cream the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing for one minute after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Pour in melted butter and mix. Beat for 3 minutes with mixer on medium-high.

Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon until just incorporated. Add zucchini and mix.

Stir cinnamon and sugar together in small bowl for cinnamon swirl.

Pour half of cake batter into prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle cinnamon swirl mixture over batter. Top with the rest of the batter.

Bake for 1 hour or until cake test done. Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes. Then turn onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Mix glaze ingredients together in small bowl. You want this to be a little thicker so it doesn't run down the cake. Add more milk if you want it thinner.

I don’t grow anything because I would most definitely kill it. So way to go on your zucchini and yellow squash! I need to go back through my posts and re-do pictures too. My early ones are sooooooo bad! This cake looks absolutely amazing. I am definitely going to have to try. Don’t you love combining a few of your favorite recipes/tricks from other recipes and making something fabulous?! Love this! Pinning!

Yellow squash is good when it’s simmered in butter with some onion cut up in it. Also I have a recipe for squash boats that’s good–I don’t remember all the ingredients in it but I do remember it has onion, bread crumbs, and bacon….

You should be proud, this is fabulous! Look at all those gorgeous bits of zucchini! I’ll take some zucchini if you need to get rid of them, but judging from your recipes, you have plenty of fantastic ways to use them up!Tanya Schroeder recently posted..Grow Your Blog Networking Party

Your yellow squash can be used just like zucchini. If it has a tender skin, you don’t have to peel it. I use it for refrigerator pickles with cucumbers and peppers, for several kinds of zucchini bread, for a baked egg and cheese casserole, and for zucchini crisp that tastes just like apple. I have found yellow squash and zucchini to be interchangeable.
